From Elsewhere: Not much to disagree with there.

Looking back at the years of Labour misrule, you can see the truth in this election poster.

Sean Thomas in the Daily Telegraph explains why the Labour government of 1997-2010 crippled Britain.

“Do you remember 1066 and All That? Maybe not, as it was published in 1930. And yet, this parody of English history lingers in the collective consciousness, not least because it amusingly defined English kings as either Good or Bad. No ifs, no buts – no vague, waffly “he built the autobahns, but then things went somewhat downhill”.

What else? Health. 1,200 died in Mid-Staffordshire Hospital alone, that’s more than died in Mid-Staffordshire during the Black Death. What about Europe? Labour’s biggest achievement in Europe was to give away half our precious rebate, won by Thatcher, at a cost to you and me of £9 billion so far – and in return they got precisely nothing, unless you count a chortling, after-dinner promise from Jacques Chirac, that he’d make Tony Blair President of the EU, which he didn’t. A small mercy.”
